Festivals, Events, & Residencies
From Steveston to Saigon, my contributions span large-scale festivals to intimate, place-based gatherings that centre accessibility, intergenerational exchange, and cultural celebration. Whether collaborating on community-engaged events, creating hands-on learning activities, or envisioning residencies, I approach each project with care, playfulness, and openness to possibility.
Below is a selection of projects I've had the pleasure to be part of, rooted in collaboration, creativity, and shared experience:
